Confluence Gallery presents the Earth and Sky exhibit which features large and small scale works by Kim Matthews Wheaton that capture the colors, simplicity and emptiness of the Eastern Washington landscape.

Kim Matthews Wheaton moved to Eastern Washington almost twenty years ago and has been inspired by the landscape that surrounds her. The simplicity and emptiness of it, the broad horizon, and the colors which are sometimes subtle and sometimes intense. Kim loves to paint on large, horizontal canvases, but has been experimenting with different sizes and shapes, such as the more vertical canvases that are inspired by slices of her larger works. She is enjoying the challenge to capture the expansiveness of the landscapes in a smaller space.
